hi i would like any ones input in to building a tank loco i would like to use a RTR loco has a starting point saving on the pain of trying to build the chasse and was thinking of truning a hornby M7 into a ether a Stanier/MC Intosh or a Jhonson 0-4-4t
i have the drawings of the jhonson loco but not the other two and have not got the M7 yet but have drawings so hopefully hornby have done there job
i know that all the locos had 5''7 wheels apart from the 2nd and 3rd bach of jhonsons. so the M7 fits in there but apart from that bit any help would be welcome
so has any one tried this and if so how did you get on, and are any of thes a none starter as i have not got the money to waste on dead end and if so has any one got a better idear to try
i dont mind what type of loco has long has it is LMS ex-LMS
